Chapter 22: Footprints in the Woods
Before the liberation, tens of millions of people died in the war, and countless people went missing, most of them went to the war zone, and the bullets between the two sides were opened, or they were blown up by bombers dropping bombs in the air. There is also the biggest possibility is to let the party catch the strong man to work, if you are lucky, you can still leave a life to go home, if you want to say that there are people missing in the local area after liberation, most of them have something to do with the head of Henan.
To put it bluntly, the head of Henan is a human trafficker or a kidnapper, which is called so in the surrounding provinces of Henan.
The people who abduct and deceive the population like the Henan leaders are all ruffians and scoundrels, who are used to eating, drinking, and spending money, and are unwilling to work, so they want to get something for nothing. In most cases, one or two people who are more hands-on and familiar with people come up with ideas first, and then find those who can meddle in their affairs. This is their jargon, they visit who can start, they report the address and the situation to the general manager, and then send the person who is good at playing with women, to try to get the woman who wants to be abducted. When they take people to other places, the abducted people have two expressions in their jargon: one is that they have already made sense of everything with themselves, which is called "open-mouthed"; The other is something that you don't have to hide from yourself, which is called "blocking the mouth".
The head of Henan was once quite rampant and arrogant, and dared to go to the street in broad daylight to take away other people's children, and if the child's mother found out, he would take them away while there was no one around, and then sell them to these remote areas in the west. If it was a young and beautiful woman, she would sell it to the north side and send it to the black kiln that still existed at that time, and she could sell it for a very high price.
When I went to Beiping to sell people, I kidnapped some children from there and sold them back to Henan and Shaanxi, like freight transporters, and there was money to be made back and forth.
In Beiping, the act of human trafficking is called "ballast line" in the jargon. There are two kinds of such ways: one is abduction and the other is abduction. When neither of them can do without the other, they propose that the two of them have a long-term plan, and they want to leave the local area, and then go further and say that there are friends in the northeast or northwest who can find him trouble, and send him a letter to ask him to go immediately, and some also show the original letter to the woman. The woman didn't know that this was a fake letter written by an accomplice, thinking that they could be together for a long time. Most of them got on the train in Fengtai, because they got on the train at Beiping Station for fear of meeting acquaintances or being discovered by the woman's family. When they arrived at the location, they went to live in the stackhouse opened by their accomplices, and then slowly implemented their second step. First, the man pretended to be anxious and said that the person who promised to introduce him to work was transferred away for some reason. Then he said that someone else was trying to find a way for him, but he actually came to see the woman's age. After the appearance of the year was done and the formalities were completed, at this time, the stackhouse and restaurant came to force the account, and the man pretended to be very sad, and sometimes pretended to cry and seek death, saying that he was very sorry for the woman. As soon as the woman's heart softened, she fell into their trap. Besides, when the woman went to a remote place, she had no relatives, she didn't recognize it, and there was no better way, so she had to be at the mercy of others. The swindlers have gotten the money and divided the fat, so it doesn't matter what you suffer!
These immoral abductors often break up other people's families, and they themselves usually do not end well, and if they are caught red-handed, they will have to be beaten to death by the villagers.
Continuing from the previous article, the village near the tomb slope of Wulichuan Town is not large, and the population is only one hundred and ten, but the graves here are several times more than the local population, so the grave team temporarily lives here to work and move the graves.
It is said that there are seven fewer people in the village, including men, women, old and young, which is different from the previous Henan leaders who abducted children and women, all of whom disappeared suddenly, and there was no news at all. No one knows where they went, and it happened in the past few days, if the village chief hadn't come to check the number of people, those honest villagers would still be waiting for people to come back at home.
Lao Wu followed the village chief to work blindly for a day, but not only did he not find the person who put the floating corpse in the dormitory last night, but also stopped himself from doing a bad thing, and he had to help find the missing people.
Originally, the task of the grave team was tight, the time limit given by the county was too short, and it couldn't be completed at a normal speed, this time the two people in the team who could contribute were injured, and they didn't want to work for the time being, and the remaining few people would definitely not be able to finish within the specified time, and they would have to be hurt by Director Liu's ears in the future.
But as the old saying goes, "When people are unlucky, they will stuff their teeth when they drink cold water", Lao Wu was looking for someone in the village with the village chief one day, but a few people who went to move the grave slope at the other end of the grave team had an accident again.
Recently, I don't know if I hit Tai Sui or what, I'm unlucky. Lao Wu went to the village chief early in the morning, and the remaining few had to go to the grave slope to dig the grave, which was not good for work, and Secretary Liu would come to check the results of his labor in a few days, even if the task was not completed, he had to get the money with a shy face at the end of the month.
All this was originally normal, compared with the excitement of last night, there was a little bland, although the people of the grave team had not licked the blood from the knife, they had all seen some of the world, and they were not afraid that the person who attacked the fourth child last night sneaked into the dormitory during the day to attack the two half-crippled people, maybe not afraid but too coarse.
That's not to say that all hearts are coarse, but there are also fine. There are a total of seven people in the grave team, and only five have been mentioned so far, and there are two people who have not been mentioned, namely the fifth and sixth children.
These two came to Henan together, although they are not brothers, but they have known each other since childhood, and they seem to have experienced something together, and they are the kind of siblings who share weal and pain.
The fifth named Zhang Tianxiao's hometown is under the Sijiu City in Beiping, according to him, the family used to have a little wealth, and lived a worry-free life for several years. Later, the family fortune was lost by his father, and he owed a lot of debts, and his father and mother were cornered by debts, so they had no choice but to hang the rope and die.
The sixth is called Chen Kun, who has the same name as a film and television celebrity today, but this person's appearance is really sorry for the name, not that this person looks crooked and cracked, but it is unbearable, it is the kind of person who thinks it is ordinary at first sight, but you can't look closely, otherwise the more you look at it, the uglier it becomes, that's what he looks like.
There is nothing to talk about in the old six families, counting up to several generations are poor, that poor pair of pants can be worn for half a lifetime, and if you miss a patch, you can wear the rest of your life, if you think this is miserable enough? Then I can tell you that their whole family is just this pair of pants, is this miserable enough?
These two met on the streets of Beiping, because they were born in a bad year, there were many people who couldn't eat, and the brothers were also forced by life to do some things like stealing chickens and dogs to live. It is said that the two went to steal a gold bracelet from a pawnshop, and were discovered by the shopkeeper, who caught up and wanted to snatch the gold bracelet back, but was pushed by the brothers in the process of fighting, and his head hit the corner of the steps and died directly. The brothers should also be regarded as manslaughter, but there was no such statement back then, if they surrendered, they would definitely have to be sentenced to death for money, then they had to eat a few sunspots, so the brothers ran away and went to Henan for several years.
The careful person I just mentioned is the sixth child, don't look at this person's appearance, but if you want to say that he really has no ability, and this person has a characteristic, that is, superstition.
Superstition and superstition, first superstition and then belief. I once heard people say that if the IQ of human beings can be doubled, then there will be no more faith in the world, and people will no longer believe in the gods, of course, this is only based on theory, we will not see it in our lifetime. In short, the more intelligent people are, then they will not believe in ghosts and gods, they will not have faith, and of course they will not have superstition.
The sixth child can't say that he is stupid, just because the traditional concept has long been ingrained, and he especially believes in these ghosts and gods, and he is a person who must worship in every temple.
At that time, people's bodies were extremely empty, and the idea of ringing the bell in the temple all day and night had no food to worship them, so they could only dry up. Because of his belief in God and Bodhisattva, the sixth child believes that there is karma in the world, and it is not that the time has not come, although people are hungry but full of energy, and they are chattering all day long.
The third child's hand was injured last night because of the fourth knife, and he could only barely dig the soil with one hand, which was too hard, and the others didn't feel anything, but he was tired. The brothers also knew that the third child was injured, and they didn't let him work more. The sixth helped him to find a shady place to hide from the sun by the woods, and the sixth could be lazy by the way.
said that the sixth child sent the third child to a cool and shady place, where the forest is dense and there is a slight cool breeze blowing, not to mention how comfortable. But the sixth child was blown by this small wind, and his abdomen was shaken, and he felt like urinating, so he hurried into the grove for convenience.
After Lao Liu entered the woods, he found a random place to untie his pants to be waterproof, and when he was urinating, he suddenly found a few footprints on the ground.
Although the forest is cool and can keep it moist, but God doesn't know what kind of illness it is to not rain recently, from dry to dry, the soil in this forest has a layer of dry crust, and it is crunchy to step on it, and it is easy to leave footprints.
The footprints seen were from the direction of the grave slope leading to the depths of the forest, and this location seems to be the place where the man fled into the forest last night, and you can see far from the footprints.
The sixth quickly finished peeing, put on his pants and ran out, beckoned his brothers together and said about it, and after hearing this, everyone decided to follow the footprints and go in to take a look.
